<p>How upset will other universities be if I use my biographical essay, which is 788 words long, as the main CommonApp Essay? It won't really bother the QB schools because it's one less essay to read but what about the non-QB schools?</p>
<p>Yes, you can reuse any of the essays. But the word limit is 500. Maybe the QB schools will understand, but I don’t think the non-QB schools would appreciate the extra 288 words to read.</p>
